Crucifix for a Mic

Crucifix for a Mic Lyrics

[Intro: Kanye West]
You know, it’s a new day and age
People have they own thinking
People have they own things that they into
People have they own religion
Hip-Hop is a religion to a certain extent
And the rappers are the preachers
And the music is the scriptures
It’s just like church because you go to a concert
Yo-yo-You raise ya hands in the air
You get dressed up you sing songs
And you definitely pay some money
It’s just like church (laughs)

[Chorus: Marinate]
See I don’t know what
You’ve been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I’m searching for sure
I don’t know if I’ll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it’s mine
See I don’t know what
You’ve been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I’m searching for sure
I don’t know if I’ll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it’s mine

[Verse 2: AJANI]
The arrival of the magnetic
Spittin #34 over the track like it was athletic
Came into the gun fight
With no rifle
Just a pen and the spirit within of Michael
Everytime I step to a mic it’s like a bible
Get a couple wins like mike would be my final
Wishes before my maker comes and pull a caper
Turn my physical being to them thangs out the saber
Cause we really gotta come together
I’m sick of seeing this love thrown in a shredder
It’s a mess cause in the end all we got is us
And if not us then who what can you trust /
But these conflicts make it harder for you and me
Seeing iris to iris no possibility
So I seek the papyrus where I’m really free
Eliminate the virus over these beats
With the touch of midus maybe then you’ll see
I spit sick like Titus spitting past 16
The reborn Osiris so immortal we be
Amongst the sirens sending us 6 feet deep
Cause there’s too many of us
Jumping into these graves
So put ya flashlights on
We getting out of this cave

[Chorus: Marinate]

See I don’t know what
You’ve been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I’m searching for sure
I don’t know if I’ll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it’s mine
See I don’t know what
You’ve been missing man
They say speak what you want into
Exist-ten-nence
See I’m searching for sure
I don’t know if I’ll find
But if I pray to the lord
Than I know that it’s mine

[Outro: Marinate]
See I know that it’s mine
Yea, and one day that I’ll find
Ooh, and I know that it’s mind
Just gotta, reach out and climb

About “Crucifix for a Mic”

(Unreviewed)

Two black male artists Marinate and Ajani paint a picture of their societal circumstances while explaining ideas near to them. Basically the song is about faith in what you believe in, to achieve it. “It” simply being whatever you may define as your you goal, or idea of success for any given period of time. Maintain that hope.
